Justice must be served on collapse

Joshua Holland in Alternet finds it staggering that the industry which precipitated our economic collapse has undergone no prosecutions for misconduct of any kind. Without any real penalty for their misdeeds, the message sent is clear he says: it’s alright to do it again.

American’s don’t vote crooks out so they are doomed to relive the past. IF there were real teeth in the law (and there never will be as the ones breaking it are making it) things might change. Face it if you could steal millions of dollars and thought you could get away with it would you? At worst, if your caught you have to give some of it back and be shamed while living a life of luxury. The cost of stealing from the taxpayer has gone up, they need to steal more so that when they caught they get their fair share. Perhaps the penalty for stealing should be to loose a hand or arm. Loss of a limb is standard procedure in some countries and crime is far lower because the penalty is so high. Think others might get the message. I say let’s do it.
